G-rated EVE incoming? Shocked

The psychopathy demonstrated in "EVE Online" has caused it to be banned from the internet, for the good of all humanity (tm).

Oh yea. Love the typical spin in the article.

From "violent pornography" to "violating the civil rights of the women in the videos". So laughable.

Here are couple hits on the head from the cluebat:

The oldest profession on the planet is prostitution.
Women know exactly what they are doing when they make these videos.
Women are not meek and helpless in western countries. Nearly every woman I know thinks everything men think, do, and say is wrong. And they are not afraid of telling a man, repeatedly over the course of 30 or 40 years of marriage, exactly that.

Whats next? Proposing that all teenage girls cover their eyes while taking a shower so as not to offend their fragile natures if they happen to glimpse their own naked body?

Some people are so sexually repressed it is simply amazing they manage to reproduce.

Just tellinga amn hes wrong>? i grew up with girls who played rugby at only 5-foot 4-inch, and kicked the asses of the 5-foot 8-inch+ guys they were competing against. women are far from helpless.

(inf act, wher ei live, its generally accepted that the girl is in charge of the relationship, and getting into a serious relationship with a girl is akin to slave-labor).

This is disgusting, I thought Iceland is a secular and reasonable country What?

In my country prostitution is a legal profession, prostitutes get universal health insurance and everything. There is no excuse to ban pornography unless you're a religious zealot.

What nobody seems to be taking into account is that Fanfest is coming to Iceland soon. A horde of, lets be honest, mainly male internet junkies will descend on Reykjavik. We have to imagine at least some (most) of them will freak out if they can't access the links in chat / jabber / .. to photos of a less than savoury nature.

Has CCP got any contingency plans in place???

24 years of... research.

There's nothing worse than an EVE player, generally considered to be top of the food chain in the MMO world, that cannot smacktalk with wit and coherency.

Because men are not affected by pron, at all. Lol

Clearly, the "expert on pornography" referenced in the article has not encountered ~certain types~ of the material, which might have caused them to reconsider their view on the classes of people who might be affected in a negative way.

Perhaps we could send him an endearing rendition of "terrible fanfic of Twilight" brought to us by the amazing DaBigRedBoat.

Once upon a midnight dreary, whilst I porn surfed, weak and weary,
Over many a strange and spurious porn site of 'hot XXX galore',
While I clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning,
And my heart was filled with mourning, morning for my sweet amour,
"Tis not possible!", I muttered, "Give me back my free hardcore!",

Quoth the internet, 404

On this page by horror haunted - tell me truly, I implore -
Is there - is there porn no more!? - tell me - tell me, I implore!'

Quoth the internet, 404

It's the freedom to have anything censored before it reaches your eyes, because it may hurt your eyes. Or worse, your morals.

Freedom, protecting you from your own bad decisions.
